Hi all. I was sleeved on 6/1. I should be starting puréed food at this point but what I have read for suggestions turns my stomach so I'm still on Protein shakes only. The idea of baby food makes me nauseous. I love cottage cheese but if I'm reading correctly, I need to purée it with a liquid? I feel stupid for asking but I'm starting to get sick of the shakes. Help???

Good stuff everyone!!

Thank you all so so very much! I figured it needed to be bland. I'm a Mexican and Portuguese food person and I like things tasty and spicy. I know the spicy needs to wait. My paperwork showed baby food and watery low sugar oatmeal as suggestions. I'd rather starve! Again, thank you

It doesn't necessarily need to be bland. Just take it slow and see what you tolerate.

I'd rather starve than eat baby food too!

Yeah I haven't blended anything, I just take super small bites and chew really well. Grits are Amazing at this stage!!

I bought the creamy bariatric soups from the website and they don't seem to be settling well. I'm in the bathroom within minutes

I was sleeved on 6/2. I was starting to feel like I needed something more substantial. My step daughter cooked a very flavorful and spicy vegetable Soup. I drank the stock the first couple of days then ended up pureeing the veggies and stock into a nice "baby food" consistency. It was quite yummy.

Today my husband made chicken enchilada soup and pureed it. Quite satisfying.

The thing I'm having a very difficult time with is the sweetness of the Protein Shakes. Trying to figure out how to make them less sweet.

Pureed cooked oatmeal, smooth applesauce, mashed potatoes, mashed sweet potatoes, and pureed winter squash; try them out and you may need to water them down with water, broth for flavor, or milk for protein or almond milk for taste. Yogurt is a good one, too. You can also puree canned foods like green beans, carrots, tuna, and chicken. The foods that aren’t high in protein (like cream of wheat or oatmeal) you can add unflavored protein powder to. Pureed canned beans are good if you can tolerate them; some people can't.

Fat free / sugar free cook and serve chocolate pudding mix with a scoop of Protein power and made with Fairlife milk. Love refried Beans with greek yogurt mixed in it!
